Info About the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Learn more about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best pistol can make an impact in improving your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are commonly produced after real-world sidearms or models of actual pistols. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully certified adaptations of their genuine handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs instead of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols has negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most common and heavy-duty types of handguns. They are all season handguns and operate well in many kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally located in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great for playing airsoft in cooler weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other styles of guns like green gas cease to work or hardly fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and expend the remainder of the surplus gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s best used by date typically marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun style. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane stored in the mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to refill and top off your propane supply in the pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra handgun mags are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally can be used effectively on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When they are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temps (like below 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and make the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body before game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you actually need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns perform best in springer battles where game players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t called for given that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Look out when fighting multiple enemies because the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the correct circumstances. Spring guns can typically fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in recent years. The initial gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest designs have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with maximized mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a sizable output in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to shell out, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still find a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are trying to save money.
